Chapter 94 Reunion Dinner
After standing at the door for a while to get acquainted with each other, the group entered the yard.
Huaijin, Huaiyu and Huaibai all liked the two little kids of the same generation very much, especially Huaibai. He was the youngest in the family. His two older brothers were either busy helping with housework or studying. When they finally had time to play with him in their free time, they would check his homework and his learning progress in all aspects. It was really annoying.
Little Huaibai blamed all this on the fact that he was the only child in the family and his parents had to either check his studies or keep an eye on him while he studied. Now that he had two younger children, Haohao and Yueyue, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The eldest and second brothers should now be able to shift their attention from him to Haohao and Yueyue, right?
However, he also likes them very much.
From now on, he is no longer the youngest child in the family, hehe.
The three children took Haohao and Yueyue into the house.
Xiao Yunhao and Xiao Xinyue used to envy others for having many brothers and sisters. Now, they finally have a brother too. They were so happy. They glanced at their parents and saw that they were talking to other people, so they followed their brothers without any worries.
The Rong family's yard is larger than that of other families. It is the most common U-shaped yard. The main hall is in the front of the yard, with two rooms on each side. There are additional buildings on the left and right sides of the yard. There are three rooms for living on the left, and four smaller rooms on the right. Two rooms are used for men and women to wash and brush their teeth and store miscellaneous items. There is a kitchen, and the one near the wall is used to store firewood. There is also a small shed at the door of the firewood room, where a few chickens are kept.
A simple farmyard.
The owner of the yard obviously loves life. In order to prevent the yard from being too monotonous, flowers and plants are planted near the wall. In addition to flowers and plants, there are two fruit trees, a peach tree and a pear tree. Now it is summer, and the trees are full of fruits. The red peaches are gorgeous, while the pears are not yet ripe.
The yard is quite well kept.
"These two trees were planted when we first came here," Liu Manyun said. "There are also orange trees, jujube trees, grapefruit trees, pomegranate trees, and walnut trees in the vegetable garden behind."
Speaking of this, Qin Tianxiao was also very happy. "This was arranged by us women. At that time, those men thought we had nothing to do. Now let's not talk about it while we are eating."
As she spoke, she glared at Rong Bingwu who was standing beside her.
Lu Yao and Rong Yan tried to hold back their laughter. It seemed that their second uncle was the one their aunt had said was too idle.
Lu Yao admired and said, "You are really amazing."
If you can make your life better and more comfortable as much as possible, why not do it?
"Okay, go wash up first," Liu Manyun pointed to the two rooms dedicated to washing. "The water is ready, and the clothes for changing are also placed inside. Let's see if they fit first. If not, we can change them later."
Lu Yao didn't expect them to have prepared all this, and felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"What kind of trouble is this? We're all family, this is as it should be," Qin Tianxiao pretended to be angry, "Don't talk about this anymore."
Rong Yanhui rubbed his sister Yao's head and smiled at her: "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I will definitely not be polite to you in the future."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yao again and whispered, "This is their intention. Being polite would be bad."
Lu Yao nodded. She understood the logic, but it was normal for her to be polite on her first day meeting someone close to her man. If she really didn't say anything and accepted everything as a matter of course, that wouldn't be frank and generous, but greedy and selfish.
Liu Manyun listened to the two people muttering quietly and patted their shoulders in amusement: "Go quickly, and eat after you wash up."
Lu Yao and her family's luggage were placed in Lu Mingxiu's carriage. They did not follow him today, but as agreed in advance, they stayed in the city for one night and made plans after things settled down here.
So, in the eyes of others, they didn't bring anything when they came, so if they needed to wash up, they really had to trouble them.
Lu Yao didn't act pretentiously. She thanked him and took Xiao Xinyue to the girls' room in the middle. Rong Yanhui took Xiao Yunhao to a bathroom outside that belonged to the boys.
The bathroom is not very big, and there are a lot of sundries piled up in the corner, but it is very clean and arranged neatly, which is very comfortable to look at.
In the opposite direction of the clutter, near the corner, there was a large bathtub, which was already half filled with water, enough for Lu Yao and Yueyue, mother and daughter, to wash.
Lu Yao closed the door, first took off Yueyue's clothes, then took off her own outer layer, leaving only her underwear. She took out the children's shower gel and shampoo from the space and began to wash Yueyue's hair and bathe her.
As for her husband and son, she had just secretly given him a piece of essential oil soap, which could be used for washing face, washing hair, taking a bath, or washing underwear.
After washing Yueyue clean, she wrapped her hair with a cloth and put on the clothes prepared by the Rong family.
It’s worth mentioning that although they had never seen Yueyue, the clothes they prepared were quite fitting, which showed that they had put a lot of thought into it.
After putting on the clothes she had just taken off, Lu Yao sent Yueyue out first.
At the same time, the sound of a door opening was heard next door.
It turned out that Rong Yanhui did the same thing as her, cleaning Haohao first, and then dressing him neatly before sending him out.
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of affection.
Under the eaves of the house on the left, a group of people were waiting for them. When they saw the two children come out, without waiting for Liu Manyun and Qin Tianxiao to step forward, the three youngest kids of the Rong family ran over together. The two brothers Rong Huaijin and Rong Huaiyu each picked up one child. Rong Huaibai was too young and could only follow behind and watch.
"Now Huaibai is finally not the youngest child in the family." Liu Manyun smiled at Qin Tianxiao beside her.
Qin Tianxiao also found it funny. "Don't look at that guy as if he doesn't care. He really cares about it. Now that he has Yueyue and Haohao, he must be very happy."
Liu Manyun thought of the pitiful look of the little guy, and the smile on her face became more obvious: "He and Haohao are two years apart in age, so they should be able to play together."
"Huaibai has been too quiet since he was young. I hope he can become more lively with Haohao and Yueyue taking care of him." Qin Tianxiao felt a little unhappy when he thought of his grandson who he had finally got. "This child is too opinionated."
He's like a little adult, with a lot of reasons and I don't know who he resembles.
After Lu Yao and Rong Yanhui sent the children out, they did not delay. They quickly washed themselves and changed into clean clothes. Everyone in the yard gathered around the two children and started playing.
Lu Yao: ...She never knew her two children were so capable.
Rong Yanhui chuckled: "That's because they all have a very thick, uh, family filter, is that what they say?"
Lu Yao nodded. Perhaps, the only explanation was the filter.
As soon as this idea came out, she shook her head and denied it: "Our children are smart, cute, well-behaved and sensible. Normal people will like them."
Anyone who doesn't like them is definitely abnormal.
Rong Yanhui chuckled and nodded: "Sister Yao is right."
Lu Yao rolled her eyes at him. Couldn't this guy have a little bit of his own persistence?
Rong Yanhui shook his head: Whether to insist or not is up to my wife.
Lu Yao snorted coldly, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
This man is getting better and better.
Yueyue and Haohao's hair had been dried and combed smooth, and then spread out behind their heads. When they saw their parents coming out, the two little guys hurried forward:
"Daddy, Mommy, my brother and the others are so awesome!"
"Daddy and Mommy, can I be like my brothers?"
Lu Yao looked at Yueyue's admiring expression and was surprised: "Doesn't Yueyue think that Brother Haohao is the best?"
Yueyue: “…”
She frowned and decided not to answer the rather unfriendly question.
Lu Yao didn't let the little guy go: "Yueyue, who do you think is more powerful, Brother Haohao or the three brothers Huaijin, Huaiyu and Huaibai?"
Xiao Yunhao instantly became nervous when his mother asked this question. He looked at his sister with anticipation. He also wanted to know what he was like in his sister's heart.
He used to be the only brother he had, and he was definitely the best. Now that he has three older brothers, he suddenly feels a little lacking in confidence.
"Mom!" The little guy stomped his feet and glanced at his brother. "Brother has protected me since I was a child. In my heart, he is the most powerful. Brother Jin, Brother Yu, Brother Bai are also very powerful. They know a lot of things, more than us."
In the eyes of the little ones, people who know more than them are very powerful.
There's nothing wrong with that.
She then thought about it seriously, "Each of them has different strengths, and they are all different in magnitude, so they can't be compared."
"Hahaha," Lu Yao laughed without any maternal love, and at the same time, she picked up the little girl whose smiling face was puffed up like a pufferfish, "Our Yueyue is really smart."
This girl not only comforted her brother's heart and made him lose face, but also tried her best to make things even. Look at her three cousins, their eyes are almost gone from laughing.
After washing up, the group went into the main room to eat.
There are now two large tables in the main hall, each of which is filled with various dishes, which make people's mouths water.
Looking at these delicious dishes, Lu Yao thanked the busy people for their hard work and said to the others, "I didn't realize it before, but seeing all these delicious foods, I'm so hungry."
Rong Bingwen and Rong Bingwu sat down and said softly to them:
"Eat more if you're hungry."
"You have to eat more. There are your two aunts' specialties in it. It's so hard for us to eat a bite on weekdays."
"Then we must eat more later," Lu Yao said to the two children and their father, "Don't you agree?"
The three of them nodded in tacit understanding. This was necessary.
Everyone chuckled when they saw them like this. In just a short while, it seemed as if they had never been apart for such a long time as more than ten years.
Liu Manyun smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more. If you think it tastes good, we'll make it another day."
"Wow," she had just finished speaking when she heard a little kid's exaggerated voice, "Cousin Haohao and cousin Yueyue, you must not be polite, we can also benefit from it."
The person who spoke was Rong Yunan from another table.
"Even eating can't shut your mouth!"
In this way, the group enjoyed a reunion dinner after fourteen years, amidst laughter and joy.
After the meal, Lu Yao wanted to help clean up, but was rejected by everyone in the Rong family.
"How can it be your turn to work?"
"Let's sit down and rest for a while and talk."
"If you're tired, why don't you go next door now?"
Lu Yao and the others didn't walk for too long today. It was still early, so they didn't plan to rest so early.
